THE HOTTEST THING IN TECH
Nvidia’s $100 Trillion AI Industrial Revolution Prediction

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang just outlined the $100 trillion opportunity being unlocked by AI and accelerated computing in the "next industrial revolution" that he sees radically transforming every industry globally.

Huang outlined how Nvidia's AI platform spanning silicon, software and services puts it in a unique position to capture value as companies and countries build out the AI infrastructure and applications to drive this “Physical AI” economic and social revolution. A series of announcements demonstrate Nvidia's ambition and momentum to lead this transition:

• Another next-gen AI chip architecture Rubin, due in 2025

• A rapid annual update cadence for new AI chip family releases.

• "AI factories" optimized for accelerated computing and AI at scale.

• Transforming manufacturing with AI and Digital Twins - by partnering to build robotic factories and AI-optimized operations.

The Competition

AMD also announced new AI chips for data centers and PCs and stated AI is its "number one priority." AMD will also update its chips annually, with the Instinct MI325X, due later this year. AMD's Ryzen processors will also launch in "Copilot+" AI PCs from Microsoft, HP, Lenovo, and Asus.

The CEO of British chip firm Arm known for Apple’s "M Series" chips aims to capture 50% of the Windows PC market in five years as Microsoft and other hardware partners will also tap Arm’s tech for their upcoming AI PCs.

AI is Good for Business

Nvidia led global companies in market cap gains in May, buoyed by strong revenue forecasts that reinforced investor confidence in demand. AMD expects AI chip sales to hit $4B this year, $500M over previous estimates.

BofA predicts the semiconductor run won’t peak until mid-2026 and will benefit three major industry themes: cloud computing, cars, & complexity. While other companies may be taking a share of the PC market, Nvidia is winning the 3D chess game by positioning itself as an integral part of the integration of AI into the physical world with its multi-faceted “Three S” Silicon, Software, services approach and Industrial Revolution ambition. BofA’s other top picks to leverage this coming “Physical AI” revolution include Broadcom, NXP Semiconductors, and KLA Corp.
